Snarky got it!  He even has the right reasoning!  Congradulations!

Yes, it's an American coin and it's a real American President.  However, the events of the trial are not real.  Like I said, the key to answering the whole question is to answer one and work off of that one.

Close.  But not quite.  You also have to explain the reasoning.

You're on the right track but you haven't fully answered it yet.

Wonderful puzzle!  I have to say, I was stumped by it.

Okay, I've got a hard one that has three questions in one but if you manage to solve one, you could possibly solve the others.  There are clues in the answers.

When on trial, a certain American president was asked how he pleaded.
This president, rose and placed a single coin in front of the judge.
Taking up the coin the judge accepted the plea.

Who was the president?  What was the coin?  What was the plea?



And if you need them, here are two subtle hints which my keep you on track but don't reveal much of anything.

Spoiler

The coin could never make a good bribe.

Spoiler

The plea was an actual one, not a joke.

Not Puffin?

I've seen puffins in trees at the zoo.

Yes, you got the animal for the trees thing.

"Albatross, Duck, or Goose" were all acceptable answers.

Yes, it's an actual bird, but it doesn't have any allergies to trees.

If you need another hint I'll give you one, but only if you ask.

No, these answers aren't it.

You're thinking a little TOO far out of the box.

I have a new riddle:

Birds are we,
And you can see,
That we find it easy,
To fly a distance free,
But we're never in a tree.

Now you must name me.

Then it turned out to be my first idea but I decided against it.

It's corn.

Obviously the mentality is the pearls being the kernals of corn that are within the husk.

I would like to learn the rest of the mentality however.  I don't know what you meant by "husband's house" and "other girls."

And I think if you decide to do more riddles it may be more fun if you didn't offer a new hint every time someone guesses wrong.

Nice to see that someone else is making riddles now.

I'd say the answer is: a flower.

Flowers are cloaked in green until they open revealing the pollen covered stamens.  Many of them can carry around 800 grains each.  They wait outside of the other flowers (the husbands) and within the flower there is usually a second stamen also with 800 grains of pollen.

This is going to become more and more pointless as it devolves into a "Guess a plant" game. Perhaps I can help by saying that the numbers are important?

...Or should I just give the answer?

A bit of advice: NEVER just give the answer while people are still trying to figure out the answer.  Clues are great but if you give up and just give the answer due to people not getting the answer right away it defeats the purpose of the riddle.

If you want to put up another riddle before one is answered, then by all means do so.  It won't hurt anything.

Down.
The small feathers used in pillows :-)

YES!  That's the answer!

Well, I'm out for now, but I'll see if I can come up with some other riddles.

This one's turning out better than I expected.  Nope, these aren't the answers either.  Good tries though.

Incorrect on both.

Even if you get the correct answer, however, this time you'll have to explain WHY it's associated with them.  Let's just say, "answers without evidence are useless."

I'm running out of ideas but here's a fast one:

A direction associated with birds.

Yeah, it's a lead, though, technically, you figured out the puzzle.  The correct answer was indeed "Kangaroo."

Other clues in the riddle were this:

In manga, as a response to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, another comic was made: Adolecent Kung-Fu Kangaroos.  The comic didn't last very long but it was there.

The word play is that if you tried to use rhymes with the final words in the first two sentences, you could also get it: Manga rhymes with Kanga, and Fu rhymes with roo.

Nope.  You're not on the right track there.  Word play can be used with manga, but there's a little more to it than that if you want to go a different route.

Why are they wrong?
These puzzles are silly.

Because those aren't the answer that the riddle is looking for.  The puzzles may be silly, but riddles are silly.  If you don't like them, don't bother with the thread.

Seriously though, if it was THAT easy, it wouldn't be much of a puzzle.

No it's not that easy.  Both are wrong.
